Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon garlic chili paste
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon ginger paste or grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Sesame seeds and chopped scallions for garnish
Instructions
Place the chicken thighs and all marinade components except the cornstarch and garnish into a resealable bag or dish and let marinate for at least 6 hours, ideally 8 or overnight.
Take the chicken out of the marinade, reserving one cup of it for the glaze. Heat the grill to 400 degrees then cook the chicken for 5 minutes on each side. Cover the cooked chicken with foil while preparing the glaze.
Bring the saved marinade to a boil in a small pot for 5 minutes. Mix cornstarch with water and whisk this mixture into the boiling marinade to thicken it.
Cut the chicken thighs into slices, arrange on a serving plate, spoon the glaze over generously, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions before serving.
